Hoy, let’s see!
I’m:
Gay, which means I want to molest your children. (Sorry, but most of the others are actually true. And this one might be true too, provided your children are male, older than 16, really cute, and say yes.) Oh, and HIV positive to boot, because I’ve spent my whole life getting buggered without a condom, which I dearly love to do.
Wiccan, which means I’m a dizzy-headed vegetarian who can twitch my nose and cast love spells on people.
Femme, which means I wear negligees and I’m not really a man, whatever that means.
Male, which means I’m a coarse brutish lout.
Canadian, which means I’m bluff and outdoorsy, but kind of boring. And I wear red serge.
a Quebecer, and worse, a Quebec nationalist, which means I’m a short, fat Nazi who drinks a lot of beer, goes to strip clubs, and wants to send the English to concentration camps.
an Anglo, and worse, a federalist, which means I’m a bigoted, mindless ass who’s successfully avoided learning French despite living in Montreal for seven years, throws a screaming hissy fit whenever anyone talks to me in French (including “Bonjour” and “Pardon”), lives in Westmount, tries to return French magazines claiming that they’re “defective,” and desperately longs to live in Toronto. (This is not so much a stereotype as a compilation of bad examples.)
a university student, which means I’m a pretentious snot who doesn’t know a thing about the Real World.
a campus leftie, which means I like to go and annoy poor people and make wild pronouncements about the environment and globalization and then go home and get Daddy to make the down-payment on my Vette.
an antiglobalization activist, which means I, personally, murder police officers and burn down entire cities on a regular basis because I have nothing better to do, and certainly have no opinion on anything that actually has to do with globalization because I wouldn’t know a tariff if it bit me on the ass; I want to keep poor people poor; also I think Canada should stop trading with everyone anywhere, because trade is inherently evil and because I’m a Communist.
a New Democrat, which means I’m an excessively humourless and earnest elderly British Columbian hippie of dubious gender or an union thug; that I want all freestanding objects fastened to something and I want to soak the rich for every penny they own and then send them to concentration camps; and also that I’m blissfully unaware of my party’s vote percentage in the last election (this last I deduce because people insist on telling it to me.)
a politician, which means I’m the scum of the universe.
a linguistics major, which means I speak one hundred million languages and will never have a job.
a Trekkie, which means I speak Klingon and wear Spock ears and a Starfleet uniform on a daily basis;
an otaku, which means I’m a four-hundred-pound guy with a receding hairline who rarely bathes and likes drawings of tentacle pedophilia and physically impossible breastesses;
a sex-positive person, which means I attend drug- and alcohol-sodden orgies on a regular basis, have no life at all beyond my hormones, never leave the house, treat other people as worthless things to be fucked and discarded, am bisexual and sadomasochistic (not that there’s anything wrong with that), and am totally incapable of having any sort of relationship with anyone.
I think that just about covers it, but if I think of anything else I’ll be sure to let you know.
